DEATH OF MARAT, Painting by Jacques-Louis David (1793)

Jacques-Louis David in 1793 painted the death of marat, who he was the Jacobin leader. The painting shows when Marat slumped in his bathtub, his right hand still holdinga quill pen, while his left hand grasps the letter that Corday used to gain access to his home. The simple wooden block beside the bath, which Marat used as a desk, is inscribed with Marat´s name and the painter´s dedication, and becomes his tombstone.
